Genesys Bubbles Up as Clear Market Leader in Multichannel Cloud Contact Center, Says Independent Analyst Firm

In addition, the company grabbed the highest spot in five of the report's technology matrix categories and was ranked in the execution matrix as a top-three vendor for hosting reliability, multi-channel innovation and customization.

The Ovum Decision Matrix highlighted several of the company's core strengths, noting, "Genesys gets high marks in Ovum's evaluation based on the company's longtime record of innovation, product breadth and depth, credibility, and financial stability as one of the industry's largest privately-held technology companies."

The Ovum report assessed eight cloud contact center vendors based on technology, execution and market impact. Aggregate scores across criteria determined vendor placement as a "leader," "challenger" or "follower." While Genesys was one of three vendors named a market leader, it was the only company with multiple cloud offerings evaluated. Genesys PureCloud™, PureConnect, and PureEngage, all received high scores.

According to the report, "Genesys is ahead of most cloud customer engagement companies with its globalization efforts and today boasts of being able to support any agent, anywhere in the world."

"We're delighted to be recognized again by another leading independent analyst firm for our market-leading cloud strategy," said Merijn te Booij, chief marketing officer, Genesys. "We're doing what we said we'd do – and Ovum's report validates it – giving the market a proven cloud platform so robust, so flexible and so scalable that it can support businesses of all sizes and sophistication levels all over the world."

The Ovum report also recognized the company's robust customer and employee engagement offerings and business optimization capabilities as strengths across all three of its major cloud offerings.

"Organizations looking to adopt cloud-based contact center solutions will find a mature, comprehensive choice in Genesys solutions," said Ken Landoline, principal analyst, Customer Engagement, Ovum. "With its scalable and proven architecture, Genesys is very strongly positioned to cater to the needs of customers of all sizes, for all industries across the globe."
